HRT and magnesium supplements
Hi I’m new on here. I’m taking oestrogel 1-2 pumps in the morning, and one progesterone capsule at night. I’m increasingly frequently waking up in the night and I’m exhausted. Have tried other HRT types which made me feel mad and wild so I want to stick with this. Friends have recommended magnesium

Bleeding on HRT
Have been on continuous combined HRT for about 3 years with no problems. (Had a fibroid removed in 2021).3 months ago the GP recommended I increase oestrogel pumps from x2 to x3 daily as I was complaining of fatigue. 5 days ago I started bleeding with period pain/cramps. GP advised I stop HRT and review

HRT and cirrhosis
I have heard conflicting opinions as to the safety of HRT and cirrhosis. I have cirrhosis. UKELD score 48. KPA score 37.5. My GP has changed my (low dose) HRT to a gel and tablet: Gel = Oestrogel 80g . Tablet = Medroxyprogesterone 5mg. The enclosed leaflets, however, say ‘do not take’ if you have

’Perfect’ bloods but gaining weight and feeling rubbish
Hello lovely people I think my thyroid meds have stopped working. I have been steadily gaining weight (6kg in 6 months, which is more than 10% of my weight!!) and am feeling tired, frustrated, tearful and don’t enjoy my life (which is really good). I am always hungry but monitor calories and don’

Hysterectomy, HRT and possible flare up
HI Ladies. So, I was diagnosed with stage 4 endometriosis when I was about 30 years old (Im now 45). I've had 2 laproscopys, 1 laperotomy and finally a total hysterectomy when I was 40. My ovaries were completely stuck to everything else around them, major pain, also had endo on my bowel, pretty much

booked in for full hysterectomy
hey I had a lap back in October and it looks like the endo has returned so I’m booked in for a total hysterectomy! I’m really scared about it all. How are you after yours? Has it changed you at all? I’ve already started hrt and get on really well with the oestrogel especially with less adhd symptoms

Optimum
I’m UAT and take 1 grain Armour Thyroid am and 3/4 pm with vitamin D, K2 , Mg and B Complex. I’m also on Oestrogel and Utrogestan. TSH is suppressed due to long term T3. What is actually considered optimum levels for T4 and T3 - also vitamin D? Consultant (private) reduced my AT dose by 1/4 grain

Oestrogel digestive issues
Hi, I am using a 50mg patch for half the week then a couple of pumps of ostrogel for the other half (because of the irritation the patches cause). On the gel days I have painful IBS cramps, painful bowel movements, wind, and I am binge eating sugar laden things. Is this a thing???

HRT dilemma - switched from Oestrogel to Lenzetto, too early to consult Newson’s?
I’ve switched from 3 pumps of oestrogel to 3 sprays of Lenzetto. It’s only been a few days but my symptoms of insomnia for a start are worse. Now I wake up at 4am and don’t get back to sleep at all. So sick and tired of this. Also going to the loo more. I’ve been completely non-functional today. Too

Help with hypothyroidism & oestrogen
Good evening I was wondering if anybody has had the same experience as myself and how it was resolved. I was first given oestrogel for my peri menopausal symptoms and felt very unwell on it along with the headaches and crippling anxiety and vertigo I feel as if I'm over medicated on my levothyroxine

Need help with Oestradiol and thyroid blood results ASAP please!
I've just received my Medichecks results from yesterday and to say I am alarmed about the Oestradiol result is an understatement. My oestradiol is LOWER than when I tested before starting HRT in September 2022!

Hello, would anyone be kind enough to help me with my latest results? I have had an underactive thyroid since my early 20s and I have also been diagnoses with Hashimoto's, but do these results indicate I have now gone overactive? I had a full hysterectomy a year and a half ago and I'm not sure if that

Estraderm patches or Oestrogel?
I have been using Oestrogel for the last 5 months or so but I have switched to Estraderm MX75 patches as I wasn't noticing any cognitive improvement with the Oestrogel. Does anyone know the difference between patches and Oestrogel? Do patches provide a steadier flow of oestrogen than the gel? The gel
